Closeouts. Johnston of Elgin's limited edition plaid throw blanket is made using the uniquely colored natural fibers from a specially chosen flock of alpaca -- each nurtured and grown exclusively in Oxfordshire, England.

Johnstons of Elgin is a centuries-old family firm doing business in the far North of Scotland since 1797

Using the finest cashmere and wool fibers imaginable, fabrics are dyed, spun and washed in supersoft Highlands water for irresistible softness

This is a very soft and warm blanket, and it looks nice too. I also ordered a Moon lambswool, and this is considerably thicker and softer, not really scratchy at all. I was worried about it being too small, but I'm 5'10", and it's about the perfect size for me to cover up with while lying on the couch.
